Even with careful planning and execution, changes can occur after breast implant surgery that lead a patient to consider revision. The most common reasons are implant deflation, a desire to change implant size or type (implant exchange), capsular contracture, implant malposition, double-bubble deformity, and combinations of these.
Sometimes a patient was not an ideal candidate for augmentation at the time of her first surgery and would have been better served by a lift, alone or with an implant. At Carlin Plastic Surgery, every patient is evaluated as an individual — no two reasons for revision are the same — and Dr. Carlin's goal is to choose both the right implant and the right procedure for your goal.
